Bush warns of World War III if Iran goes nuclear

[Scurrilous]

Source: AFP

<snip>

"US President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he had warned world leaders they must prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons "if you're interested in avoiding World War III."

"We've got a leader in Iran who has announced that he wants to destroy Israel," Bush said at a White House press conference after Russia cautioned against military action against Tehran's supect atomic program.

"So I've told people that, if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon," said Bush."

1. The doofus still doesn't know he's already started World War III.

And he's done a helluva fine job of losing it for us, too.

[katty]

36. indeed!! his efforts toward WW3 are boundless

[Barrett808]

42. Technically, he means WW IV

The Cold War was WWIII.

[MLFerrell]

69. Oy Vey, can we not buy into the rightist framing of a constant "conflict between civilizations"?

Be our enemy du jour Muslim extremists (and by extension all Muslims), or "those Godless Commie Bastards", the right is always shouting from the rooftops that we are in a life-or-death global conflict.

Why am I seeing this same rhetoric from a 1000+ post DUer?

At best, the cold war was WWIII by proxy, if you catch my drift. Hell, even if you don't catch my drift.

[dickbearton]

75. MLFerrell, yes, it is hard to believe there are so many ignorant and stupid people...

And most of them will not learn, till it is to late, if then.
As for the Criminal Bush; the guy is brain dead; he acts like
an evil robot.

[Selatius]

2. Sounds like Bush is saying if he doesn't get his way, he, not Iran, will start WW3

:evilgrin:

[Waya]

5. Sounds like it to me......

[MilesColtrane]

6. Direct message to Putin?

I kind of wish Russia would just come right out and say that any attack on Iran would be considered an attack on Russia.

The problem with that is the chimp is just crazy enough to go ahead and bomb Iran anyway.

[aquart]

25. Putin has a better bomb.

He can destroy any damn thing he wants and leave no radiation. No reason at all to hesitate using it on a declared enemy.

So how would you all feel if he took out Israel? Happy and satisfied? Because he can.

[MilesColtrane]

37. Sorry...

I don't understand your post.

I think maybe you're trying to make an analogy between Putin/Bush and Iran/Israel, but you've lost me.

[dickbearton]

77. I understand his post, he is a Corrupt Republican stooge...

[Pavulon]

40. MAD

Read up my friend. In the event of an exchange between russia and the us we are all going to die.

BTW unless they sign a mutual defense treaty with Iran this is all talk.

[niceypoo]

53. UAS

Unilaterally Assured Stupidity

[Strelnikov_]

47. Putin wants us to bomb Iran. He is playing both sides in this conflict

in order to facilitate the rise of a Russian energy superstate.

[dickbearton]

79. Loindelrio, don't worry about Putin...

Worry about the Criminal Bush and act like your life depends
on; because it may. Stop playing with your toy soldiers and
grow up, stupid.

[unkachuck]

51. sure....

....bushco having the Middle East on fire is not enough, we need the world on fire....too much is never enough....

[tridim]

3. Please make it stop.

We've all seen this movie before.

[kestrel91316]

13. I know. This one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Beach_%281959_film%29

IIRC it didn't have a very happy ending....

[lazer47]

4. He has cried terra so many times, there is nothing

left to try and scare people with, except WWIII

[tridim]

16. Threatening WWIII is a "mushroom cloud" plus+++ brand of domestic terrorism.

Another obvious impeachable offense.

I can't even imagine what a BushCo managed WWIII would look like.

[lazer47]

28. A chinese fire drill

[dickbearton]

80. Exactly, another impeachable offense...

These criminal miscreants in the White House are on a one way
street; they know they can't go back, because the gallows
waits for them.

[jojo54]

7. I can't wait to hear what Keith has to say about this tonight !!

[0007]

35. .....and you can bet he'll have something to say. I feel a special comment

coming on!

[Cha]

8. So now it's not the "axis of evil"...it's fucking

World War 1-2-3? Who has the nerve in m$m to write that there's an idiot with his itchy faux-cowboy finger on the button to doomsday?

[dickbearton]

81. They better get the nerve or we could all end up dead.

[chelsea0011]

9. I don't get it. What ever happened to "mutually assured destruction"?

Doesn't this still apply. And why isn't the world at risk with just the countries with nuclear capabilities now? Happy with the countries with nukes now?

[MilesColtrane]

21. BushCo's argument is that Iranian government will hand off weapons to terrorists.

There's not much fear of Iran launching an attack. That would be instant suicide.

[dickbearton]

82. As the post said earlier, the Criminal Bush...

Has literally replaced mutually assured destruction with his
mutually assured stupidity. Like Hitler, who felt the Germans
deserved destruction, when he failed; the Criminal Bush will
destroy America with his insane neocon/neonazi plan for world
domination. Let us hope, he is in it for the money and not
power, or we are all dead.

[chelsea0011]

86. he is completly insane, isn't he?

[skip fox]

10. The demonizing, the drumbeat, the exaggeration . . . Everything is in place

to let slip the dogs of war.

I hate to say it as I hate to witness its approach, but an attack is obviously coming.

[Buzz Clik]

11. Be afraid! Be scared to death! Shit your pants if necessary!

[SpikeTss]

12. That's impressive, because it means that Bush has read and understood a book

Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'.

[UncleSepp]

67. To which parts of MK do you see the strongest parallels? n/t

[adigal]

14. Christ, what the hell is he doing - sticking it to Putin??

Putin threathened him, and he is pushing right back. Great. 10,000 nuclear warheads travelling the ocean, heading for us.

Why is this not the number one news story from our corporate-owned media???

[Lone_Wolf]

84. Because it is a real downer which affects people's spending habits

The advertisers prefer "news" that puts people in the mood to spend and consume.

[5X]

15. He is threatening world war 3 just if Iran has the knowledge,

hard to prove if the knowledge is there, thus, he can start
the war any time he feels like it.

[tridim]

17. Nuclear "knowledge" is available at any public library or book store.

[Vinca]

18. I rarely drop the "f" bomb online, but Shrub needs to shut the fuck up.

Terror, terror, terror. Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid. As long as people can walk across our borders at will and sail through our ports as they please and put "new-q-ler" cargo in the bellies of our planes, just shut up. He's driving me nuts.

[Javaman]

19. and moron* is just the fatalistic idiot to start it.

we are through the looking glass and playing cards with the queen.

[mark414]

20. hyperbole much?

even if Bush was speaking the truth, nobody would believe him.

you have no credibility, NONE george; do yourself a favor (and a bigger one to the world) and resign

[Doctor_J]

22. he hasn't been this excited since his chauffer ran over a stray cat

The War President can't wait to wreak more death upon the world.

[zonmoy]

74. is it possible he is more of a sociopath than his dark master

Yahweh

[liberalpragmatist]

23. "So instead, let's just start WWIII NOW!!"

:eyes:

[Az_lefty]

24. little boy crying wolf....

why does he continue to think any world leader would take him seriously? He has no integrity left what so ever.

29. I disagree that Israel is our enemy, even though I am firmly

oppoosed to current Israeli policy in the Occupied Territories and to the Likudnik\Kadena governments recently. Historically, many strands of Zionism were most definitely a force for positive change and thus should not be equated with post-1967 Israeli governments and their policies and actions towards the Palestinians, the Golan and Lebanon.

[NoGodsNoMasters]

78. I agree.

There is a peace proposal, I believe the one discussed at Taba, I should check my sources on that one, that fits with the general consensus of the international community, that concessions need to be made and Israel needs to abide by international law. (So does the US!) We are the prime military support for Israel and the us govt. is passionately determined to being blind to Israeli aggression. Israel is not the enemy, but we are in a unique position to exert diplomatic pressure to solve this thing, and eliminate a huge propaganda tool for jihadists in the process. I don't think all Israeli's are aggressive, i doubt they're government represents them any more than Bush represents us, but clearly there needs to be a policy change. And Bush's insinuating that Iran is developing Nuclear technology specifically to destroy Israel is rediculous, about as rediculous as the claim that you hear all around that Bush and co. are doing this on behalf of the Israeli lobby, they have plenty of reasons of they're own to do the wrong things, if any lobbyist groups hold any kind of sway over this administration, it's corporate ones.

[Amonester]

32. Well, it's not Israel as much as the Iranian OIL * and Darth R...

Really "interested" in...

All the "other" words (except that one: oil) around R just blah blah blah (and bad ones).

Do the math. Between $100 to $200/brl multiplied by some trillions of barrels equal (how much in profits?)

Heck: Darth, Rumsferatu, Wolfo & even his little big-bro signed the plan at the PNAC.

And which one of Iraq's Ministry was the first one to get "invaded" in 2003?

Easy.

The Rest Of The World Knows What These Robber-Barons R after: the same "sh*t" Hitler&Co were after = O I L

O I L = P O W E R = D O M I N A T I O N


(The "problem" is... Russia+China are "well aware of that" now...)

[Megahurtz]

34. I Totally Agree.

Great post. :thumbsup:

[KansDem]

41. I must admit I'm getting sick and tired of every news program beginning with a story about Israel...

OK, so not every story but still enough to make me roll my eyes and say to myself, "Oh, shit. Not this again...!!!"

Why don't we hear about other countries? Like Denmark, for example? Why don't we begin each news program with a story about Denmark?

[JBoy]

44. Forget Denmark

What about Poland!?!?!?

[KansDem]

49. Man, I forgot Poland!!!

27. Hey, George. . .neah neah-neah neah neah. . .

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

[Zandor]

30. Probably warning that Iran would start WW3, given nukes

Overdone rhetoric, but I don't think the implication is we would start it.

[Zhade]

33. Enjoying your brainwashing?

NT!

[TankLV]

63. It's Zandor - what do you expect - read some of his other posts...

[creeksneakers2]

54. That's how I read it too

It could read either way but I think he was saying that if Iran nuked Israel that would start WWIII. Not that WWIII would start if Iran tries to get nukes.

Still, its hard to tell what Bush is saying. Sometimes he makes no sense at all. His stupidity is a real threat when he starts talking about nukes and WWIII. Saying something wrong could put us on the track to war.

He ought to have a reviewed script to read from on those matters. Its safer.

[Zandor]

87. Reckless and irresponsible rhetoric for a President, no doubt

But we agree, the implication is Iran would initiate WW3 if they had nukes.

[dickbearton]

83. Zandor, do you think so...

Pull your head out of your ass, it must be getting mighty
stinky in there; and while you are at it, consider changing
your name to Pollyanndor.  

[Megahurtz]

31. Hypocrite!!!

Him and his Cronies/Allys are the ones pushing us into World War III!
Iran is just sitting there, minding their own business for fuck's sakes!
Hypocrite!:argh:

I hope no one else gets sucked in to the fabricated drama.

[judaspriestess]

38. interested in avoiding WWIII?

yeah right, you masturbate and have wet dreams thinking of WWIII. you live for that day creep

[knight_of_the_star]

39. Oh dear Gods no!

Please let someone on the Secret Service, someone, anyone keep him the FUCK away from the nuclear launch codes!!!

[mc jazz]

43. i don't think putin will play this stupid game

Instead he's got Bush to talk and isolate the US further.
The weak dollar is already causing inflation in developing economies.
I don't know about you but the fundamentals point to shit going down

But to talk of WW3 is BS when the strategies haven't been played out yet
who has got who by the balls?

[JBoy]

45. WW3 = Rapture

and Iran is the ticket.

[mcscajun]

46. This is how he demonstrates his "relevance"

On the global stage. :puke:

[bonito]

50. Imagine if we had diplomats in this administration

It's what the world has terribly lacking since they took over.

Hey George it's give and take! Not kill and pillage!

I sooo want to here every candidate voice this!

[HughMoran]

48. I caught that stupidity today

He sounded stupid saying that and everyone knows it.

[Imagevision]

52. So, within a year from now Iran will have already have experienced Bush's "shock n awe" part 2 as he

explains his fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here, and also, the US. is having much greater success controlling the oil flow from Iraq.

[Flabbergasted]

55. kick

[lovuian]

56. I think Mr. Tough guy pulled out the Veto and is ready for WWIII

talks about checks and balances

He talks tough but he is an idiot

[graywarrior]

57. OMG, how I despise that fuck.

[L0oniX]

58. Uhm ...that would be WW4 since his "mission accomplished" show.

What a total dolt!

[Dukkha]

59. World leaders to Bush: "We don't negotiate with terrorists"

so take your arrogant biblical threats elsewhere. the world is tired of your bullying.

[TankLV]

60. So bunkerboy threatens WWIII if HE doesn't get his way with invading Iran...

"If you don't let me start a war with Iran, it'll result in WWIII"...

The WAR Criminal is fucking meglomaniacal NUTS!

PLEASE!

WORLD!

STOP THIS IDIOT BEFORE HE STARTS WWIII - BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE!!!

PLEASE!

WE BEG YOU!!!

[lonestarnot]

61. Bushyshitler is trying to ride the fucking bike in his boots again.

:toast: the heat.

[Andrushka]

62. Note the language

He's not talking about them "getting nukes" or "going nuclear" as the headlines says:

"if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon"

Having the knowledge is enough for this insane asshole! The knowledge that is already out there - wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't pick up tips online even.

As someone above said: Get this f'ing madman away from the launch codes NOW!

[robinlynne]

65. war is the only thing that can keep these people in power.

[robinlynne]

64. am I allowed to say "mother fucker"?

[UncleSepp]

68. What's it going to be, a war to end all wars?

Didn't we try that a couple of wars ago?

[Seabiscuit]

70. We finally have Dr. Strangelove in the White House. n/t

[hunter]

71. Has Putin any experience dealing with nasty little rich kids?

Bush is like what, a whiny little sixth grade bully in some expensive prep school?

"You'll all be sorry, you will!"

:puke:

[libodem]

72. If we do to Iran what we have done to Iraq

Well, I don't know what, but it makes me want to quit praying for cheneybush to have joy, prosperity, love and light in their lives, like I have been. Oh, I hope cheney wakes up each day, smiling, laughing with joy from all his abundance.

[lovuian]

73. was it me or did he sound threatening and Angry

he said The President has the Vetoe and I'm going to use it

then he spouts off about checks and balances with kinda a smug smart alecky way
and then he pops out WWIII

I mean he really doesn't grasp his situation

He thinks he can sit there and everybody will jump to his tune

or else he threatens WWIII

When you fight a WWIII you need someone to inspire you to give your life and sacrifice
He isn't inspiring

I think bottomline is he wants more deaths and lots of deaths

He was threatening or was that my imagination

[NoGodsNoMasters]

76. .......

"....because if they get the knowledge necessary to make a Nukular weapon, I'LL have to start WWIII." (Note: I can spell nuclear, I was just translating into Bush-speak.)

[unkachuck]

85. "....if

...you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon,"

....it'll be interesting to see our Democratic Leaderships response to such an outrageous statement....where is the Democratic Leaderships quick response?

[Quantess]

88. "...where is the Democratic Leaderships quick response? "

I'd like to see that, for once.
